A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when J J Wolf goes up against Steve Johnson in the Lincoln round of 16. J J Wolf has won 2 of the last 10. Steve Johnson limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
The underlying stats are tight across the board — this is a matchup decided by a handful of points. Johnson arrives with very little recovery time. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Wolf is exactly that — a lean.
